Former Trump campaign lawyer Jesse Binnall suggested Friday that if special counsel Jack Smith takes the stand, he should plead fifth in any kind of testimony.

“If I were representing Jack Smith, I would tell him to take the fifth when it comes to any kind of testimony,” Binnall said on the “Furthermore with Amanda Head” podcast. I think he committed….in my opinion, very serious crimes”.

Some of the crimes suggested by Binnall include civil rights violations under color of law and conspiracy to violate civil rights.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, earlier this week asked Smith to preserve all records related to his prosecution of President-elect Donald Trump.

Jordan issued a formal records request to Smith in a letter. The special counsel has brought criminal charges against Trump, though both are expected to end with his ascension to the presidency.

Republicans appear poised to keep the House and the subpoena power that comes with majority control.

“Unfortunately, for far too long, lawyers at the Department of Justice believe that they themselves are above the law (and) that they can infringe on people’s civil rights,” Binnall said.
